- Essential to keeping your vehicle moving

A Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) is essential in keeping your Nissan moving. If it's worn out or damaged, the wheels will have a hard time spinning. Your vehicle's Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) uses ball bearings to keep the wheel freely spinning while it stays attached to your Nissan's axle via the ball joints and tire rod. As the wheel spins, these ball bearings inside the hub allow one side of the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) to spin while the other side stays firmly anchored to your vehicle.
Even though the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) allows the wheel to spin freely, the wheel shouldn't be loose or have any give when the tire is rocked back and forth. If you suspect it's time to replace your Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) and you are a confident at-home mechanic, start by jacking up your Nissan until the tire clears the ground. Ensure your Nissan is parked on a level, flat surface, and put chocks behind the other wheels to keep the vehicle from rolling away during the repair. If you need help with your replacement, visit your nearest authorized Nissan service center.
Inspect your Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) by putting a hand on both sides of the wheel and rocking it back and forth. If the ball joints connecting the wheel to the axle are difficult to move but the wheel moves when you rock it, the Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) might be the problem.
Driving on a broken Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) can cause a few things to happen. First, you might note that the tires sound louder than normal while driving. When a Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) is bad or wearing out, it can cause a strange whirring sound that increases the faster you drive. Second, you may notice your vehicle pulling to one side while you drive. While this issue could be a sign of other problems, such as wheel misalignment, a damaged Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) can also be the reason. Last, check your tire tread for uneven tread wear. Uneven or rapid tire wear can occur when a bad Wheel Bearing and Hub (Rear) causes tire pressure to be unevenly distributed.
